Hi,
out of my blog How to get your colleagues into ABAP in Eclipse it started a discussion why the installing of AIE-Tools is a lot of work.
Can it be done in an easier way?
In my opinion there are two ways:
First way is to have it, as delivered right now.
In my opinion it is a good way, for sure, not that easy if you do it the first time, but it is ok (my personal view)
Second way: Get a "All-in-One" Package delivered.
One download with a installer included, Start it -- be happy.
What ways are conveivable to install AIE-Tools, what do you think would be good (or the best) way to get the AIE-Tools installed?
A colleague and me just tried today, if it is a possible scenario to create a "out of the box" scenario. It is possible, so that means in bigger companies there is a scenario, that one goes through the installing-process and create the "Initial-version".
This advantage is just possible for the AIE Tool and not for the HANA-Studio. Maybe this is a good way to onboard others fast and easy.
